National Kidney Foundation's Kidney Walk via @NerveDJscom

National Kidney Foundation: 2013 Northeast Ohio Walk

I want to ask you to come out on Sunday, June 9th for a 1 to 3 mile walk to Help FIGHT KIDNEY Disease. We start at the Great Lakes Science Center it's a short walk to help bring attention to this Disease.

Team T-Shirts will be provided to every member that signs up and walks or makes a Donation. I know you can't make it to the Cleveland event so I'm asking you to make a Donation, Repost on Social Networks, on your websites wherever.

The National Kidney Foundation's Kidney Walk is helping fund NKF's initiatives in awareness, prevention and treatment as we lead the fight against kidney disease. With the increase in diabetes and high blood pressure - two major risk factors - chronic kidney disease is rising as well. The NKF is working to reach the 1 in 3 American adults at risk with important prevention messages before it's too late. Your participation in our events has never been more critical.

FAST FACTS
